1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Spermatogonial stem cells represent a self-renewing population of spermatogonia, and continuous division of these cells supports spermatogenesis throughout the life of adult male animals. Previous attempts to introduce adenovirus vectors into spermatogenic cells, including spermatogonial stem cells, have failed to yield evidence of infection, suggesting that male germ cells may be resistant to adenovirus infection. In this study we show the feasibility of transducing spermatogonial stem cells by adenovirus vectors. When testis cells from ROSA26 Cre reporter mice were incubated in vitro with a Cre-expressing adenovirus vector, Cre-mediated recombination occurred at an efficiency of 49-76%, and the infected spermatogonial stem cells could reinitiate spermatogenesis after transplantation into seminiferous tubules of infertile recipient testes. No evidence of germ-line integration of adenovirus vector could be found in offspring from infected stem cells that underwent Cre-mediated recombination, which suggests that the adenovirus vector infected the cells but did not stably integrate into the germ line. Nevertheless, these results suggest that adenovirus may inadvertently integrate into the patient's germ line and indicate that there is no barrier to adenovirus infection in spermatogonial stem cells.
